Second door for the first floor's hallway is in:


Simple.. the way I like it..

Was motivated to cut a few centimetres off the bottom and then primer the fucker but.. 'the mad heat' is there again today.

Going to mount my mountain bike instead. Forest or lake side?

Two new Trackfones for the PR and me, additional minutes.

Cherries and bananas

Do share QV, those are some of my favourite fruit. Been good this year for cherries, been really big, fat, ripe and juicy. Theres an open air market stall sometimes in manchester city center that sells cherries for just one pound per tub, I bought some the last time I was in town to snack on on the way home. I think I might go there and see whats on offer tomorrow. A quid per tub is a fantastic price for cherries, they are really expensive in the supermarkets. Plain greed if you ask me, when they can be sold at such lower prices as they go for in town.

Not sure how much a quid is (Queens don't carry money), but the cherries were relatively dirt cheap at $2.99 a pound (454 KG 1.78 money pounds).  They're still on sale, so I'll buy some more and try freezing them after pitting.

Quid=1 pound stirling.

I just haven't got a pound character on my keyboard, pressing shift+the key to write the pound char. results in a hash instead, but using the actual hash key doesn't produce the opposite char.

But the cherries cost a pound per pot. I might get some tomorrow/this coming morning, when I go to town to pick up some fun for the weekend

I think I am going to buy a second pair of headphones. The guest can use mine, and I'll have another pair.

Can't you guys even just imagine it?

Forget practicality, or your experience....can you just....imagine?

It's there. It always was.

Crazy, I'm halfway to crazy
Suicide would waste me
Homicide would break me
Tongue tied and tied to the tongue
Tongue tied and tied to the tongue
Oh, is life as bad as dreams
I guess that's just the way it seems

New Sony headphones...they were on sale, only 15.99

Pretty good sound, and good fit. Foldable and light which will make them easy to transport.

Chocolate, some school stuff for the young ladies, and underwear for me. I was in dire need.

Had the luck to stumble on un-priced high quality brand stuff, that they decided I could take with me for 50cts a piece. Bought some boy-shorts I like on top of that. So, I am set for a while again.
